Here is the solution to all those who longed to find the soul of the old R1 in an aggressive roadster with a muscular style, with a real mouth and full sensations. The Fazer 1000 seems too wise to you and you want a more fiery, more intimidating machine, which throws more…..!
As for the 600, Yamaha is redoing us the coup of the versatile roadster and a version with a more savage design. This FZ1 therefore supports the 1000 Fazer, with the same technical arguments, and a much more expressive silhouette. We are not yet at the level of the 1050 Speed Triple but the style is still very strong, with a short rear, a strong torso and muscles that stand out everywhere. A good big FZ6 which shows that it has 150 horsepower in its guts.
A nice slew of nags that come straight from the mill of the old generation of R1. We just changed 2-3 small things to make it more plump at low and mid revs. The profile of the camshafts is more flexible, the compression ratio reduced from 12.4: 1 to 11.5: 1 and the flywheel heavier by 40% compared to that of R1; all this to offer more roundness to the engine … Not only because the engineers kept the EXUP and tightened up certain gear ratios (5th and 6th). We keep the best of technology, with forged pistons, cylinders without liners, a hyper compact block, type R1 injection with double butterfly; and as a bonus, traction improved by 7% compared to the Yamaha hypersport. All of that promises us some pretty good acceleration. Always appreciable, this is starting to date, especially since the cross-plane engine would put the FZ1 back on the front of the stage..
For the cycle, no jokes and dirty elements like that. Both the frame and the swingarm are made of die-cast aluminum. The perimeter structure, narrower by 89 mm and lighter by 52%, offers maximum rigidity near the steering column and the pivot axis of the swingarm, and flexibility in specific places. A combination designed to feel the road as well as possible while ensuring top-notch dynamic handling.
Want maneuverability? No problem. With a reduced weight of 14 kgs, a wheelbase of 1460 mm, a hunting angle of 25 ° (one less than on the old Fazer 1000), and your position, sportier and of course on the front (the pilot comes closer to the handlebars), it will put the angle and entries of furious in the turns. Below, the inverted 43 mm fork offers separate adjustments according to the slits: on the left for compression, on the right for rebound … Yamaha is doing the same thing as Kawa for its Z 1000 – True technological efficiency or some saving little petty…
Yam does not forget to offer us a little pleasure, with a compact dashboard with progressive lighting. This only applies to half measures for the passenger, who is not entitled to the grab handles. that will not be enough to discourage the envious.
